MikeHancho64 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 By popular request, I'm in the process of converting a version of my Afterschool Special mod to include the Sortomatic system. I think I have it worked out in the GECK, but I have no practical experience with Sortomatic in the game whatsoever, and it appears to have a ton of features. So, I'm looking for experienced Sortomatic users to help me test my new version when its completed. I hope to have the file ready by Saturday morning at the latest if I don't hit any snags. If you'd like to help, please reply and I'll PM you with the details. Please note that you should NOT have to do the entire quest for this test version as I plan on scripting everything that needs to enable in the school from the initial activation. So all you'll really need to do is load up with gear and test all the features out for me. I will do my best to make a seamless conversion to any current version to the Sortomatic version if possible. That's going to be the tricky part though.

RoyBatterian Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'll be happy to test, I love this mod. I use the Mobile Truck Base mod too so I'm familiar with using Sort-o-matic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have most everything in the school converted, and have done some testing myself last night. My biggest question is after you go around and set DD for all your containers, is there a one-click method for sortomatic to remove everything other than what you told it NOT to remove and put it in the proper containers? Or do you have to open the MSC and place everything you want sorted into it one item at a time? I must be missing something because surely there is a better way to use this system.

RoyBatterian Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've just been adding stuff to the containers I want, then after I did that I just manually put stuff in the sorter. I'm sure there is an automatic way by setting quota and other stuff. I'll check in a while and see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Toad Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I would be able to test as well if still applicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Toad Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have no sortomatic experience, but can run test on your quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatterian Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I played around with the sortmatic in the Mobile Truck, they quota thing doesn't seem to work. There's an option for one touch , but it doesn't remove anything from my inventory when I use it. Possibly I'm doing something wrong...I told it not to touch my guns, armor, but it pulled no items or ammo out of my inventory. Perhaps it's not implemented properly, or maybe someone else can shed some light on how to use it correctly (Gopher?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHancho64 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 OK guys, the new version is online in my files. I've spent most of the day testing and it should facilitate a seamless conversion from the CIMS version to Sortomatic. But I advise you to save first just in case. @Roy - I think I figured it out. Once you set it all up in the IQM you go to the MSC and hit Options and then Re-Sort all items. That did it for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribbleshnibit8 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Glad to see people using Sortomatic. I've started work on a modder's guide to help, though it's unfinished right now. link If you want more information on anything specific, PM me here with what you want to know and I'll add it.

I was pretty lost getting started with my conversion, but the author of the Mobile Truck Base was gracious enough to get me started with how to do it. If not for him, I'd still be lost, so this tutorial will be invaluable for those wanting to use this resource, so thank you! I'll tell you one other thing I'd personally like to see, and I believe is REALLY needed, is better instructions on how to actually use the system in the game. I've gotten some of it figured out just by spending hours playing around with it. But it's been hugely frustrating just trying to figure out how to make it remove stuff and sort it where it's supposed to go, and I still don't think I'm doing it exactly right, lol. For example, once you go around setting the DD's for all your containers, is there a one or two click method you can activate the system and it sorts everything, or do you have to manually place what you want sorted in the MSC to sort? Having to do it manually sort of defeats the whole purpose to me. The only thing I can find is activating the IQM, selecting Process Inventory Now, then activating the MSC. select Options, and Re-Sort All Items. Is that how you're supposed to do it?
